Find a Friend: Teddy the hound-retriever mix

Like many awesome but neglected dogs, Teddy's luck could have easily run out. His first owner kept him outdoors before turning the pooch over to the county shelter. Teddy tested positive for heartworm disease-- a predictable diagnosis for dogs not given prevention in mosquito-rich Florida. But Friends of Hillsborough County Animal Services sponsored treatment for this happy hound/retriever mix. His foster family -- including three dogs, two cats, and an 11-year old boy -- can't say enough good things about gentle and jovial Teddy (ID# 10601494). Adopt him fully neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and healthy by contacting friendsofhcas.org. Photo courtesy of Friends of Hillsborough County Animal Shelter.
